Thanks.

Ran through all the nodes, found hydrophone set for -500, so I edited all the nodes that said "radar" to -5. According to the notes that's "Minimum sensor working height (in meters)", although I've occasionally found his notes to be wrong. Tried that, the little hand icon in the HUD to turn the radar on and off still goes out at the same 39 foot depth, but the 3D radar view in the conning tower the on/off toggle switch and all the controls work until the reflector actually goes under, and the sweep and target blips work. Have to set up something where I can try it in a flat calm, see what it does when I change it to something weird like -50. 5 meters is about 16.5 feet, 39 + 16 is 55, which would submerge the reflector. Obviously there are other files involved somewhere, not unusual for SH4 since they programmed it by loading data into a shotgun and blasting away while wearing a blindfold.
